Answer: There will be 9.9632 × 10⁻¹⁸ moles of Copper in 6,000,000 atoms of Copper.
Answer: ₉₈²⁵³Cf
253 is a superscript to the left of the symbol, Cf, which represents the mass number, and 98 is a subscript to the left of the same symbol, which represents the atomic number.
Explanation:
1) The alpha decay equation shows that the isotope Fm - 257, whose nucleus has 100 protons and 157 neutrons, emitted an alpha particle (a nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons).
2) Therefore:
i) the mass number decreased in 4, from 257 to 257 - 4 = 253.
2) the atomic number decreased in 2, from 100 to 100 - 2 = 98.
3) Hence the formed atom has atomic number 98, which is californium, Cf, and the isotope is californium - 253.
4) The item that completes the given alpha decay reaction is:
₉₈²⁵³ Cf.
5) The complete alfpha decay reaction is:
₁₀₀²⁵⁷ Fm → ₉₈²⁵³Cf + ₂⁴He
You can verify the mass balance:
257 = 253 + 4, and
100 = 98 + 2
Answer:
Distillation
Explanation:
The method of distillation can be used to separate the two liquids, if their boiling point is known. The liquid with lower boiling point will be evaporated and its vapours will be captured, while the liquid with higher boiling point will remail in the container in the liquid state.
D. this is the correct answer because the question is showing a comparison of sizes rather than the actual sizes which eliminates B. A and C have no relevance.
The correct answer is Solute
Explanation:
In chemistry, a solution refers to a homogenous mixture of two substances that occurs through dissolution, this means once they are mixed the substances form a uniform new substance and cannot be easily separated. Additionally, in chemistry, the substances involved in a solution are either classified as solutes if they are the substances that dissolve to form a solution or as solvents in the case of substances in which the solute dissolves in. For example, if you mix salt and water, the salt acts as the solute while the water is the solvent. Thus, the component which dissolves in a solution is called the solute.
